freshly crushed sorghum stalks and the same through three-ply cheese cloth or rouse lining, I having found other clot-h en- 'ircly unsuitable. the nice is settled place a determined quantity, sa ttv lens in a lain v t or pan andhoii i": thi minutes, skimming cohstantl The boiling causes certain of the particles thereoi to coagulate and the lighter particles to rise to the surface With the scum, the same oeing AOVGCl in the skimming process.

ing process also that the action of the soda arrests fermentation and acidification and causes impurities in the liquid to be pre cipitated to the top thereof, such impurities being removed by skimming. i then all W the mass to evaporate, still skimming constantly until it will spin a li tle thread when dropped from the skimmer. In the period of evaporation, the sirup is defecated and by my process I produce a clear pure sirup that will keep years Without fermenting in an open vessel.

Having described claim is The herein described process of manufacturing sorghum sirup, consisting of boil.- ing fifty gallons oi strained sorghum juice for a period of thirty minutes, constantly skimming the froth therefrom, adding fifty gallons of cold sorghum juice to the heated juice, stirring and skimming the same, addir "hereto one tablespoon of halting soda, re mo i the scum and impurities precipitated by the action of the soda on the sirup, and permitting the mass to evaporate and clarity in the process of evaporation While still skimming the surface of the sirup, said evaporation being continued until a threat like substance drops from the skimmer.

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature.
